A Boston hospital was found to have violated the rights of a couple by subjecting them to search and surveillance when they entered the health facility, according to an article on the Campus Security website.
A judge found that a couple's First Amendment rights were violated when Brigham and Women’s Hospital searched a man and had a security officer accompany him while his wife received treatment
The husband was searched when his wife went to the Boston hospital for an urgent surgery. Both are physicians.
The hospital’s patient policy states that they have a right to a “prompt response to all reasonable requests and a right to personal dignity and to a reasonable extent, privacy.” The couple’s complaint claims the hospital violated this policy.
